The mystery of Benfal (Moore, Tryll)

[Anastasia]

"That I must," Cloud Dancer says, "I fear what bounty Asmodeus will reap, yet I know it was a price too steep. I must think."

[Nephrite]

"I will await your response." Moore says.

He may as well go get lucky at a casino for the time being.

[Anastasia]

Any particular one and how much are you going to gamble?

[Nephrite]

He's going to go try and find Fiery Odds. He's also going to look at the voucher he got to see if it's... you know, real.

[Anastasia]

It looks real enough to you, at least on a causal glance.

Got a relevant Knowledge skill there?

[Nephrite]

I have every Knowledge skill, technically speaking. K: Profession (Casino Rules)? If so it'd be 10 for 29

[Anastasia]

That would be a Profession skill, but close enough.

It looks authentic enough to you.

[Nephrite]

Time to find the casino, then!

[Anastasia]

It's a casino with a flame motif. Cheery music comes from nowhere within, full of people laughing and gambling. Glitz is everywhere, gold and red decorations. A steady buzz of conversation mixes with the heady scent of booze. Creatures of all kinds are here, testing their luck.

[Nephrite]

Luck, right.

Well, he's got 100 gold to work with (he really has more, but let's not lose it all) so he just flies around until something catches his eye. For the time being he'll also put the mask back on -- it may be the last time he gets to use it, after all.

[Anastasia]

Roll 1d100.

[Nephrite]

[14:54] <Nephrite> roll 1d100
[14:54] <Serith> Nephrite roll for Serith < 76 > [d100=76]

What an unexciting number.

[Anastasia]

Your luck is poor. You soon lose the 100 gold from the voucher.

[Nephrite]

Ah well, so it goes. He still came and looked around like he promised. He may as well go back out and meander and see if Cloud Dancer comes to a decision today.

[Anastasia]

> roll 1d100
<Serith> Kotono roll for Serith < 38 > [d100=38]

You soon get a Sending from Cloud Dancer. 'Would you please stay here until tomorrow?'
